The 52x do not have dual Sims. The 630/635 is still not released yet. Only the 630 will have dual Sims. Remember Android is still selling hundreds of millions of smart phones every quarter (240 million Q1, 2014). Microsoft and Nokia needed to get something into the users hands in emerging markets and it had to be inexpensive and support dual Sims. Everyone knows Microsoft and WP is still playing catch up to Android. So if you looked at the specs of the Nokia X then you would know WP 8 would not even run on a cortex-A5/A7 which is currently running in the Nokia X devices. Also WP 8 never supported on screen buttons or dual Sims, both of which the Nokia X devices once again have. So it was easier for Microsoft and Nokia to just take Android and add a UI that resembles WP and can run Microsoft's existing apps and services. Microsoft already has a number of apps for Android already.
Now you know why Microsoft did what they did. The project name for it was called project Normandy. Microsoft and Nokia felt like they had to stem the growth of Android, because it keeps growing every quarter. Also the moto G is better then any lumia 5xx, 6xx, 7xx, 8xx device hands down.

Nokia should have never released an Android phone. I always was and always will be against a Nokia & Android collaboration. WP as a whole suites the colorful Lumia line up of Nokia. They should release WPs with even lower prices as this will help them increase their already significant presence in emerging markets.

My god you are blaming Nokia for the Nokia X. Let's go with that. Nokia never made any Android smartphone all this time until they announced one this February at MWC. Nokia said for our first android phone we will put the lowest spec cortex-A5 CPU in it with only 512mb of ram, 4gb of storage, a poor 800x480 LCD display, a UI that resembles WP, and no Google apps and services, only Microsoft's. As if Microsoft wasn't 100% behind the Nokia X. Because Microsoft's strict Hardware and software controls for WP bit Microsoft right in the butt. WP couldn't run or be supported on low hardware until WP8.1. Even then they still have strict hardware controls and only support Qualcomm CPUs still.

Confirmed for not only India, but South America and Asia as well. It is listed in America Movil's database also, so it more than likely will show up in Mexico and Central America, possibly come to the U.S. on one of their eight MVNO's. I could see Aio/Cricket and Boost/Virgin pick it up, it would only make sense.

$150 will be too much imo.
The Moto G starts from $179, and some carrier in the US offers it for $100 to 130 off contract and includes the charger.
This Moto E offers a lot less than the Moto G, including screen size, look, front camera, flash, and a slower processor.

Moto G, which is priced at almost a third of what Apple calls their "affordable" iPhone, still has better specs than the 5C. I don't and never will understand any of Apple's business logic. I mean the 5S is sure a great phone, but the 5C? Especially at that price? For me, the Moto G & the L630 are the kings of affordable smartphones.

I have that phone. From ebay it's only $130 now, so I don't see any reason to get the Moto E unless it's like $80 or less (Though $100 is still an acceptable price).
There are the LG Optimus F3 and Optimus F6, too. They all beat this Moto E, and they're also $130 each (from eBay, of course).

i'm sure if you were someone to buy that phone you dont care about space and if you did you can buy a 32 gb micro sd on amazon for $17 or 16 gb for $8. and this is still an amazing deal and more space than anybody with this phone would need.

Exactly. Yet the things that matter for a satisfying user experience (hi-res screen, 1gb or ram at least and big battery) are there. This will probably be the only android phone at that price tag with good usability. The ultimate basic smartphone. It will sell a lot imho.

Good, actually good but had this been a Nokia, fandroids will be all over talking bull about it: no flash, no front-facing camera, large bezels, thick frame,heck, some will call it a brick.

And the price, yes the price will likely hover around 90-100 dollars but only in the U.S and couple of other countries unlike Nokia that is cheap just about everywhere when it's released as a budget phone.

Large bezels? Where do you see them? Look, there's a great difference in philosophy between this and the nokia x series. This phone has the things that matter right: a high resolution screen, a good battery and, most important, 1gb of ram. This means it will be a really usable phone, contrary to the nokia x series which will lag due to its lack or ram and has low resolution screens (the 5" screen with a resolution of 480x800 is ridiculous).
Compare this and the nokia x and think they'll have more or less the same price… Motorola is going to have another hit after the moto G.

Come on 4gb of which like only 2gb will probably be free. I know it's a budget device but does that mean you should get low storage especially when storage itself cost next to nothing. Basically anyone getting this better have plans not to install apps and games because considering how big apps and games have gotten you ain't getting many on that.

It doesn't show up in the Brazilian retailer site anymore... However, the snapshot in the Brazilian blog shows its price at $250. For the sake of comparison, the Moto G costs in Brazil $290 (that's the Brazilian voracious tax code for you!). Assuming the same proportion, stateside it would cost $150.

While no stellar phone, it seems to be much better than other cut-rate smartphones. Yet, at this price, it'll hardly attract those desiring to upgrade from feature phones. Perhaps it'll attract low-end phone users.

Too bad it's not LTE-compatible and its HDPA+ data rate is not specified. However, it seems to be strikingly similar to the Razr D3, even sized and priced similarly in Brazil, hinting at the E being its update. The D3 had an HSDPA rate of only 7Mbps though, so my guess is that the HSDPA in the E is going to be 21Mbps like in the G.
